It's been a while since I submitted a song to Steemit Open Mic but I've recently started writing again after what feels like an eternity.
I've done a lot of soul searching and while I'm not really sure I'm any wiser, I'm in a better place than I've been for some time.
I wrote this song over the weekend and wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics
Just so it’s clear, this is not a lie
Just so it’s clear, I won’t be that guy
So now I guess you know, this is where I hide
It’s lonely. It’s lonely
Who are you to say that’s not a life?
Who are you to say that’s not how you do it right?
Who are you to take the fall and let me wash away?
Do you want it? Do you want it too?
All this carrying is heavy now
All this labouring is getting me down
All this heartache I’ve been bearing since that day
It’s getting harder. It’s getting harder.
Who are you to say that’s not the way?
Who are you to say I’ll get it right some day?
Who are you to bear the cross that brings me down this time?
Don’t you want it? Don’t you want it too?
Let’s just whisper, keep our cool for now
Let’s just whisper, makes me feel safe somehow
I don’t know if I’m going to be OK
I’m so tired. I’m so tired. I’m so tried!
Who are you to that’s wright or wrong?
Who are you say we can’t all just get along?
Who are you to make the call that brings us to our knees?
Did you want it? Did you want it too?
